The Story of The Fred Perry M3 and M12 polos

It all began with a cotton spinner's son, Fred Perry. Little did the family know, Fred would go on to become the world table tennis champion at just nineteen years old and then would later switch to take on the world of field tennis. After the big switch, he also developed that famous killer forehand which would win him Wimbledon three times… Even though red’s contribution to UK tennis was undeniable, he was never fully accepted within the Tennis world..

By 84’, a statue of Fred Perry was unveiled in the heart of Wimbledon - this statue was there to highlight his trailblazing nature whilst paying respect to a champion.
